Ninety days. One controlled proof boundary.

Put the project’s certainty under pressure.

The KanGate pilot is a governed proof engagement built around one active project, one consequential workflow, agreed evidence, actual exceptions, and a decision grounded in what the proof supports.

PRICINGEstablished after pilot-fit review

Not a polished demo or compressed enterprise rollout. The pilot agreement controls scope, commercial terms, evidence classes, formats, acceptance criteria, and deliverable acceptance.

Mission architecture

A pilot with a spine.

Each phase advances one governed proof engagement. The boundary, authorities, evidence classes, outputs, and acceptance criteria are established before configuration begins.

PHASE 01 · DEFINE

Lock the boundary before the work expands.

The project identifies one workflow or release gate, participating authorities, requirements, representative evidence, and the decision KanGate must support.

Representative worked example

Watch a readiness claim earn its way forward.

A representative hydro package begins with six unresolved conditions. As evidence is accepted, identities reconcile, relationships become supportable, and blockers close only when the proof changes.

Representative deterministic example—not customer deployment proof.

Operating discipline

Everyone knows what they owe the proof.

KanGate configures and operates the agreed proof model. The customer supplies authoritative project context and retains formal approval responsibility.

01

KanGate

Plans the engagement, configures the operating model, runs the controlled workflow, produces the delivery packages, measures results, and documents the recommendation.

  • Workflow and evidence model
  • Identity and relationship configuration
  • Blocker and readiness logic
  • Support, outputs, and reporting
02

Customer

Provides representative evidence, authoritative requirements, qualified reviewers, technical interpretations, dispositions, and formal approvals.

  • Evidence and authoritative sources
  • Technical and contractual requirements
  • Timely answers and dispositions
  • Formal acceptance or rejection
03

Shared control

Scope, terminology, success criteria, relationship logic, exception treatment, package formats, and final acceptance remain jointly governed.

  • Authority checkpoints

Day-90 delivery framework

Six controlled packages. Sixteen defined components.

Six packages form one governed engagement—not separate workstreams or an organization-wide implementation. Formats, evidence classes, and acceptance criteria are fixed in the pilot agreement.

How success is evaluated

The pilot must demonstrate the operating model—not pretend the project data was perfect.

Discovery of poor data, unsupported readiness claims, conflicting evidence, or unreliable relationships may be among the pilot’s most valuable findings.

REPRESENTATIVE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIACONTROLLED REVIEW
  • Agreed evidence sources received and intake demonstrated
  • Representative records validated
  • Canonical identities created or resolved
  • Meaningful relationships constructed
  • Blockers generated from missing or conflicting proof
  • State recalculated deterministically
  • At least one blocker closed through accepted evidence
  • Proof lineage and authority checkpoints represented
  • Agreed package components demonstrated or delivered as specified
  • Baseline and closeout compared; final decision package delivered

Scope boundaries

What is included—and what is not quietly smuggled into the pilot.

Included in the controlled pilot

A bounded proof engagement.

One contractor organization, one active project, one primary workflow or release gate, an agreed evidence set and user group, and the bounded intake, identity, relationship, validation, blocker, readiness, output, assessment, and recommendation work defined in the agreement.

The executed pilot agreement controls final scope, commercial terms, formats, evidence classes, acceptance criteria, and deliverable acceptance.

Not included unless separately agreed

Production-scale expansion.

Organization-wide rollout; unlimited projects, disciplines, integrations, customization, or reporting; wholesale historical correction or turnover; professional approval or certification services; 24/7 support; and deployment beyond the pilot environment.

Commercial structure

Scope first. Commercial terms second.

PILOT PRICINGEstablished after pilot-fit review.Pilot investment determined after scope confirmation.

Two pilots can share the same boundary yet require different levels of evidence processing, configuration, validation, integration, working-group support, and output production. Pricing reflects the work required—not an assumed customer budget.

01Operating boundary

Project, workflow, users, and control question

One accountable operating context, one project environment, and one primary release gate or controlled workflow.

02Evidence profile

Classes, volume, formats, and condition

Records, drawings, registers, certificates, logs, scans, reports, and exports affect intake and validation effort.

03Control complexity

Rules, identities, relationships, and authority

Pricing reflects the required logic, checkpoints, identity resolution, relationship construction, and exception behavior.

04Delivery effort

Connections, support, registers, and outputs

Integration needs, cadence, user support, register scope, controlled outputs, and package formats are confirmed during fit review.

01Pilot-fit review02Scope confirmation03Proposal / SOW04Agreement05Kickoff

After Day 90

The pilot ends with a decision, not an automatic expansion.

Broader deployment and commercial terms are considered only after the findings, technical needs, integrations, user model, project count, and operating conditions are understood.

01

Deploy

Sufficient value was demonstrated and the operating conditions support controlled expansion.

02

Refine

The concept was supported, but configuration, integration, cleanup, or process changes are needed first.

03

Stop

The current use case or operating conditions do not support worthwhile deployment.

Choose a consequential boundary

Bring one workflow that cannot afford unsupported certainty.

We will define the boundary, required evidence and authorities, applicable delivery components, and commercial terms that reflect the work.
